WordPress or Blogger — Which to choose?
For starters, we should dispel a myth. It is often alleged that Google has ownership of your content (copyright) when you use their blogging service. But this is just not the case. While Google controls their own intellectual rights, your website content is owned by the entitled party or writer. They post this quite plainly within their TOS conditions. http://www.blogger.com/terms.g
If your content does not remain within their terms of service, then Google has the right to close down or limit your account. WordPress allows you to host your own blog on your hosting account. While you may have more liberty concerning your content, you must still adhere to the guidelines or Terms of Service (TOS) set forth by your hosting company (unless, of course, you own your server).
Ease of Installation: Blogger is usually simpler to install. If your hosting company doesn’t have Fantastico as part of its web hosting service, you will have to install WordPress by hand, which can be difficult — especially if you aren’t very adept with your server control panel and FTP.
Google is the winner when it comes to customization. It’s easier to edit template layouts, styles, and colors with Blogger than WordPress. With WordPress, in order to make changes to a template that does not quite suit you as is, you will have to learn PHP and HTML.
Quite a few templates are included with each platform, and a vast number of templates have been developed by third-parties — a number that continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
Other widely-used blog software includes Xanga, Drupal (major learning curve), Joomla, and several more.
Blogger, Myspace, Typepad, and wordpress.com all offer free blog hosting.
The bottom line is that it really depends on your technical know-how and how much control you want to have over your site. Select WordPress if you can find a suitable “canned” template, or if you know HTML and/ or PHP or are willing to try to learn PHP. If your goal is to instantly write on your blog, and you don’t have a lot of money, then select Google.
